What it is

The slow clay-pot chicken: chicken and vegetables sealed in a canari pot with tomatoes, onions and chiles — no water added; the chicken cooks in its own juices. Ingredients: chicken, tomatoes, onions, eggplant, okra, chiles, ginger, garlic, oil (a little), salt; attiéké or rice to serve. Recipe: 1) Layer chicken and chopped vegetables in the pot. 2) Season; seal the lid (with dough in purist homes). 3) Cook very low for 1.5-2 hours without opening. 4) Rest; the juices are the sauce. Serve: with attiéké or foutou, at family tables. Flavor: concentrated, clean, gently fiery. History: kedjenou (from Baoulé 'se kejounou', to shake — the pot is shaken, not stirred) is the Baoulé people's gift to the Ivorian table. See also: Attiéké, Alloco.
